Maybelline Pop of Pink Baby Lips Review & Swatches

Maybelline Pink'ed Baby Lips Collection

Maybelline Pop of Pink Baby Lips Lip Balm is one of several new, limited edition shades that’s available with the Maybelline Pink’ed Collection for Spring 2014.

If you’re looking for fun makeup and beauty to fill your Easter basket some of these sweet pink shades of Baby Lips are a great pick up! Particularly if you have younger teens in your life.

Take a peek!

Maybelline Pop of Pink Baby Lips is a lighter peony pink shade that applies with a hint of lighter purple-y pink on lips. It isn’t really my pink shade of choice to be honest as it makes me look like a zombie but super fair skin tones will likely love this cooler shade of pink! The color is sheer but there’s enough pigment here that you can easily see the color come through even on pigmented lips.

I find the Baby Lips formula varies from shade to shade. Pop of Pink has a nice slickness that give lips a slightly glossy sheen. I don’t find the formula on these balms terribly moisturizing but it feels hydrating enough through the shorter wear. I find I have to chronically apply and reapply them as they have such a shorter wear! They aren’t anymore or less moisturizing than a regular Chapstick and hey, some of the newer Chapsticks are even more moisturizing for me!

Baby Lips has a strong cult following but I’m just a bit meh on it…! I do generally pick up new shades to try out as they are a quick fix for adding a hint of tint and a little moisture on lips if you’re a bit lazy (like me!) about reapplying lipstick and gloss through the day and you don’t want to be completely without some color on your lips. However, I don’t find them particularly special.

Maybelline Pop of Pink Baby Lips is probably on of the least eventful shades from the Pink’ed Collection. There are other shades with much nicer pigment to be had in this collection so I’d recommend one of those this particularly shade.

The collection is available now at drugstores for a limited time.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I like the Baby Lips line, but this LE release hasn’t done a lot for me. Your swatches are just confirming that I made the right choice in not buying the whole set. (I did splurge on the rose, though.)

    • Isabella Muse

      I dunno if you really need the whole set Heidi, you made a wise choice hun!

  • Michou

    Hey sweetie! Great review! Just wanted to let you know in Chrome the last two photos are coming up greatly stretched out (elongated) for some reason.

  • Fancie

    It’s very pretty on you! The formula is just okay but I really like this color. I hope it doesn’t sneak its way into my stash lol

  • Kadie Lee

    I’m not sold on the Baby Lips line either! I feel like they made my lips feel too dehydrated!

    • Isabella Muse

      not so much dehydrated but they seem like the wear away a little quickly!

    I noticed that this babylips looks exactly the same as pink punch from the original line. Since the color is the same, which has the better smell? I want one but I can’t have both especially if they are the same, have u tried pink punch? Which smells better this or that?? Thnx in advanced 🙂
